Subject: Re: Customer Reference

I would like to take this opportunity of recording my thanks to you and your staff for the first class service you continue to provide to our business.

This is my first time in the restaurant trade as you know and the importance of finding the best  partners and suppliers to provide services to 31 The Quay has been a bit hit and miss exercise during our first year.

Not so with GAP!  Your company has proved a definite hit. The service provided by you personally and your staff has been reliable, professional, responsive and good value for money.

I look forward to a continued working relationship and would have no hesitation in recommending your company to others.

With best wishes and thanks 

Di Veitch

To whom it may concern, 

After years of struggling to find cost effective, environmentally friendly and efficient uses for our production waste, GAP Organics contacted me for an introductory meeting with myself and my colleagues. 

My name is Tom Newton and I am the managing director of Coquet Island Shellfish Limited in Amble in Northumberland. Our business is involved in the primary processing of King Scallops 2,000,000kg and Langoustines 600,000kg per annum. 

The specific areas we needed help in were with the flat shell removed from the scallop in the shucking process, the soft waste matter from the same process and from waste heads and claws from the prawn process which were damaged and therefore unsuitable for packing. This product amounted to in the region of 20,000kg a week. 

Historically the scallop shells were sent to a composting site, which now go to aggregates but at a significantly reduced rate. We are also, in conjunction with GAP looking at other ways to turn this product into a positive revenue stream which will hopefully come to fruition in the near future. 

The heads and claws and the soft matter from the scallops were historically incinerated as animal bi-product but GAP now put this product through a Anaerobic Digestion plant, again at a much-reduced cost to us whilst creating a more environmentally friendly use for the product.  

Our dealings with GAP right from the outset have been extremely good. The level of service and ultimately our cost savings have been extremely good. We hope to continue growing our business in the future with GAP helping us to pursue our target of zero waste.

GAP Organics are a fantastic company for dealing with multi-faceted waste streams. We currently recycle our cardboard/glass, general waste and food waste through this company and they have always provided a very professional service. All the team are very approachable and they are always very responsive to any requests we may make.

KMK Metals Recycling has built up a very strong working relationship with GAP, since partnering with the company in June 2020.

As the biggest WEEE recycling company in Ireland, responsible for recycling 80% of Ireland’s e-waste, we send between five and ten loads of fridges to GAP’s Gateshead fridge processing plant every week, which amounts to approximately 37 - 75 tonnes.

The nature of our business means that during the summer months we usually get busier and our tonnage increases. GAP never have an issue with us scaling up over these periods and their professional team always demonstrates a can-do attitude. Any issues which inevitably crop up are easily overcome and the team always work with us to quickly find a solution.

One of the best things about Peter Moody and the GAP team is that they are very generous when it comes to knowledge sharing and giving us the benefit of their extensive experience, including assisting us with our logistic routes and planning.

Their turnaround times for our full trailers are second to none and their competitive pricing allows to in turn to stay competitive in the fridge recycling market. Having visited the plant, we also know that they operate to very high standards, which is very important to us, as we can be sure that our material is treated in an environmentally-friendly way.

Valpak has partnered with waste management company, GAP Group to collect and process electrical waste for over 14 years and during this time we have collaborated and worked together on many projects. GAP continually look to add value to their services and processes by exploring innovative ways of operating within an ever changing and heavily legislative industry. I am more than happy to recommend GAP Group as a service provider for the collection and processing of electrical waste.

GAP Group have been a provider of WEEE transport and recycling services to REPIC over many years. Throughout that period, they have provided a very professional, compliant service, often working with the REPIC team on new innovations and customer service initiatives.  GAP are a key strategic partner to REPIC for the provision of electrical waste collection and processing services for WEEE from our local authorities and other sites.
